Drama War Brothers
Thanks to Purple Disc, I able to view this movie. I was wondering how come that it did not come to our shores. Maybe it was due to the fact it isn’t such a blockbuster?
Coming back to the movie, it is based on the Danish film Brødre. It is a drama movie, hence it is pretty much slow in pace. Just like previous ‘Sunshine Cleaning” I watched earlier. With the lineup such as Tobey Maguire,
Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman, it is so good to be missed.
Tommy Cahill and Sam Cahill are brothers. Both totally opposite of each other. A Marine captain about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, Grace,with whom he has two young daughters, Isabelle and Maggie.
Tommy was totally opposite, a provocative guy with such charisma that melts anyone. His charms were shown in the movie when he poke fun of the bar owner.
Brothers
Meanwhile, the reality of war was shown over the other side of Afghanistan. Sam was forced at gunpoint to beat his soldier to death using a pipe. Later of the movie, Sam was drowning as he couldn’t come to term with his action – the brutally act of killing his comrade.
In the end of the movie, Sam was wondering if he will be able to continue the live a normal life after seeing the dead.
“Who was that said only the dead have seen the end of war? I have seen the end of war. The question is, how do I go on living? “
My ratings? 7.7/10
